I actually have been using Sheer Cover concealer for about 5 months now, and find it to be a medium coverage concealer leaning on the side of full. Although it will not cover the darkest of blemishes such as tattoos, it will cover dark circles and redness quite well. The advantage of having it be a lighter formulation is that it blends into skin flawlessly for a natural satin finish on the skin. I recently received a smaller compact of the concealer duo in light/medium from influenster in the same shade I am already using so now I have a back-up that I can put in my makeup bag for my purse. The large one is full size at 3g and retails for $29.95 which to me seems a little pricey for a brand like Sheer Cover but it is a nice concealer that will last a substantial amount of time. The smaller size I received is 1.5g so it is half size.

Where to Buy:
Customers can visit www.SheerCover.com or call 1-877-489-2035 to purchase Sheer Cover.
$29.95 for the concealer (non-member price) and $29.95 for the introductory system, which also includes the Duo Concealer.
Pros: It comes in a large size which will last for at least a year or more, so you are getting your money's worth. The compact is substantial and feels like a heavier acrylic compact that "snaps" shut so you don't have a messy compact or dried out concealer!
Cons: Color range is limited. If you are extremely pale there is not a color that will be for you. Having to buy the concealer in duos that you may not need can be irritating but I do believe you can buy full size single colors from Sheer Cover directly. Another thing that bugs me is it is not widely available at brick and mortar stores or online locations. To order you must call Sheer Cover so that means no discounts or cash back from ebates or mrrebates.
Summary:
As a whole I think that you could find something similar in stores that is easier to access, but the Sheer cover is supposed to have good for your skin ingredients and is nice quality. I would probably not purchase again as I can find less costly alternatives at Sephora, Ulta, Amazon, or beauty.com.
